After only a moment of staring each other down, the King of Light's other hand also pressed onto the sword. Gripping it with both hands, she suddenly pulled apart. The Black Sword in her hand actually split into two—or rather, she had pulled an illusory white sword out from within the Black Sword.
Or rather, the Sword of Light!
This sword was incomparably illusory, like the fading light in the heart of utter darkness, yet it gave everyone an infinitely dangerous feeling—perhaps even more dangerous than the Black Sword.
This was the authority unique to the King of Light, or rather, an ultimate seed born from the tempering of reincarnation!
The power of reincarnation held immense peril. Even ultimate lifeforms could be overturned within it. But at the same time, if one could cross reincarnation again and again, one could obtain, in the process, the key to reaching greater heights.
For instance, this ultimate seed was a shortcut to the Ninth Tribulation.
Not a path, but a shortcut. In the cultivation of true tribulations, there were two most difficult steps. One was advancing from six to seven, completing the transformation of half-detachment.
The second was advancing from eight to nine, where nine tyrannical true tribulation powers merged and converged, evolving a final scene unique to oneself!
If one did not enter reincarnation, there would naturally be no such thing as an ultimate seed. It was a gift from reincarnation.
An ultimate seed would not accelerate one's cultivation in the tribulation realm, nor did it guarantee that a lifeform would reach the Ninth Tribulation. Its greatest use was to make the step from eight to nine easier by more than a hundredfold.
Even so, this authority born of reincarnation's tempering came with a touch of divine wonder.
